Destroyed, restored, destroyed Hugh MacLeod drawing

A few months ago I hosted a dinner at my place where Hugh MacLeod was a guest. His “cartoons drawn on the back of business cards” are beautiful and world famous. A few of my friends have drawings made specifically for them. Unfortunately I don’t have one.

That evening, as I was cleaning the room I found a ripped up business card underneath one of the dinner plates. It turned out to be a discarded drawing by Hugh MacLeod. I hid my treasure on a shelf somewhere and cleaned up the room.

Then I forgot about it.

Yesterday I was rearranging some stuff around the house and found a stack of ripped up papers. I threw the whole batch in a trash can. As I did that I suddenly noticed a familiar pattern on one of the snippets I just threw away. It was the MacLeod drawing!

I turned the trash can over and collected all the snippets from between the rubbish. Then I sat down at my desk and rearranged the snippets back into shape so I could see the drawing. I also made a quick photo with my iPhone. This is it:
